After qualifying as a Solicitor in 2004 with a large North East based firm, Nik joined The Endeavour Partnership a few years later and became a Partner in 2012.

His M&A work is focused on advising UK-based SME companies and to provide strategic support to the aspirational goals of the owners of those businesses when seeking to maximise value. Additionally, Nik has considerable experience in dealing with cross-border and private equity transactions.
